Your videos are super helpful. We are leaving out of Galveston this Saturday on the Jubilee and staying at a hotel on Friday. We are taking an Uber to the port Saturday morning. This will be our first time leaving out Galveston and have no idea what to look forward to as far as arriving to the port in an Uber, checking our luggage with the porters and etc. we will be winging it and hopefully have minimal confusion and maximum fun! Lol😂
Don’t know about Uber as I always stay at a hotel that has a shuttle to the port, but porters are readily available to whisk your luggage away before you ever get in line to check in for your cruise.
I disagree with your boarding window assessment. We’ve arrived early expecting to wait and we got straight through. We’ve also been late due to transportation and it also was no problem we got right on
@@DSandA Yes, this was the case. They were holding people until their time arrived or they decided to let them out of the line to the far right. Once they checked your pass, they would allow you to enter the on time line.
Uber was outrageous for us. We chose Anita Ride and Salt Water Moms after numerous recommendations from a cruising Facebook groups and they’re both on Facebook
Mind if we ask what you paid for those journeys or can you provide more info on their pricing? Hard to beat a 35 dollar Uber for two everywhere I have checked and are they a shuttle bus that makes multiple stops and picks up other parties?
@@CUTravel1st That's always been about what we've paid as well. I'm nervous this time and trying to check all my options because we have to fly into IAH for the first time. I still think Uber is going to be cheapest for three people, but I worry about getting a driver willing to do the 70 miles and hearing rumblings that it's really hard to get one back to the airport on debarkation. I hate shuttles, but at least coming back, we may have to suck it up.
Oh awesome thank you so much. One more question when we get there to check in do we start at the luggage check in line first and do they have skycaps to check you in faster
@M12126 yes, you will drop your luggage off first before you get in line. Unfortunately, the port has porters available when exiting the ship, but not when boarding.
Yes, and at multiple points in the line, at least three for us. When you enter the line, when you enter the building and before they let you into the final line for check in.
Hey there - great video. I would like to talk to you about potentially licensing some of this footage - would you be able to drop me a message please to discuss?
@@allgoodontheroad I think you're going to see much higher prices than that on debarkation day due to surge pricing. I'm researching the whole IAH thing too.
Port canaveral has the rudest people. I've cruised out of Galveston several times and never had one problem. We've arrived early and were allowed to board every time. Galveston stands on business and being professionals.

Thank you! It's so exciting to be leaving this Saturday. You are going to have a wonderful time.

So what did you eat at the gumbo shop that was so good?
@@CUTravel1st The Bourbon Street platter at Gumbo's Diner, it was so good.

I certainly hope everyone has a smoother experience than our two boarding experiences in Galveston. I also hope they get better at the process.
Is it just me, or did it look like signs for the on time check in line and early/late pointed to the same spot?

I have never heard that cheap of an Uber drive from there. I want to say usually it’s about $100.
@@CUTravel1st so I actually caught the Uber from the Holiday Inn by the airport, I wonder if that makes a difference.

I have a reservation for parking at the Carnival Terminal. What street do you enter the parking structure? Rosenberg, Strand or 24th?
Did you book through SMP garage? If so, that entrance is on 25th street.
I live in Houston no need for hotels or flights

@@allgoodontheroad I’m planning on going on a cruise out of Galveston in 2026
Well good for you!
Did you walk from Hilton to the harbor or did you Uber to harbor
We are staying at Hilton first time cruise
@M12126 we took an uber, it was fast and like 10 dollars
Oh awesome thank you so much. One more question when we get there to check in do we start at the luggage check in line first and do they have skycaps to check you in faster
@M12126 yes, you will drop your luggage off first before you get in line. Unfortunately, the port has porters available when exiting the ship, but not when boarding.
When you arrive to check in, is there someone greeting u at the back of the line so they know you were there at your scheduled time?
Yes, and at multiple points in the line, at least three for us. When you enter the line, when you enter the building and before they let you into the final line for check in.
@@allgoodontheroad thank you... I'll be going on my first Carnival cruise in june and your video was super helpful!! Thank you!!
Yes.

Sure, reach out to me at allgoodontheroad@gmail.com
Is Uber the best transport after the cruise as well, to IAH?
I have not tried IAH, it is certainly much farther. Current price is 77 from the port to Bush.

Or you could sail on Princess and have no assigned check in or boarding time.
@@texasdustfart my first Princess cruise in January
@@allgoodontheroad Enjoy, but be advised it is more laid back, many say it is for old people but I'm old people.
@@texasdustfart I am a little worried it might be boring, but we shall see.
